[13:57:12] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - June 1 Deadline for Providing Lobbyist Waiver Documents Looms - http://sylnt.us - Drain-The-Swamp
[15:11:01] <FatPhil> OK, now watcihng the indy500 race. It is indeed very different from f1. Curiously not boring. Commentary and TV production (choice of shot) is not good at all. Feeling a little lost.
[15:55:47] <FatPhil> I just wish I understood the on-screen graphics. The numbers are just too difficult for someone like me who only has an Oxbridge Maths degree: 1. [#29] Alonso 5th 2. [#98] Rossi 3rd 3. [#26] Sato 4th ... what's that 5th-3rd-4th all about. Americans, please help a poor european!

[19:21:04] <FatPhil> Technically, I've never done a rating for a US Budweiser, I get the idea that a dozen buds is the drink of choice for the event.
[19:22:09] <FatPhil> At least an ex F1 driver won, but I do get the feeling the result's a bit random because of all the safety cars.

[19:23:07] <nick> FatPhil, bud doesn't deserve a rating
[19:30:17] <FatPhil> nick: out of the most-often-rated 50 beers on ratebeer, I've had 48, just missing Bud and Stella.
[19:30:46] <FatPhil> I had Guinness as ny 14000thh beer
[19:31:06] <nick> also, i havn't forgotten about the beers i was going to send your way... might have an update for you tomorrow, it just fell of my to-do list
[19:31:20] <FatPhil> brilliant - I didn't want to pester
[19:31:49] <nick> is my bad, i'm easily distracted
[19:32:09] <FatPhil> I've actually had my 100th country now, have the 101st in my home fridge, and the 102nd appeared in my office fridge today!
[19:32:19] <nick> how can you be missing stella anyway?
[19:32:26] <nick> nice!
[19:32:40] <nick> what countries have you added
[19:32:59] <FatPhil> stella - easy - by avoiding it, a bit like I did with guiness
[19:33:39] <FatPhil> 100 was Angola, 101 and 102 will be gibralter and cambodia.
[19:34:21] <nick> not sure if gibraltar technically counts...
[19:34:27] <FatPhil> South America, and island areas (caribean, australasia) are my weakest areas.
[19:34:39] <Deucalion> Stella - A.K.A Wife Beater - it's grim stuff - far to many secondary volatile alcs wafting off it to give that "buzz".
[19:35:01] <nick> Deucalion, but compared to Bud it's rather pleasant
[19:35:51] <FatPhil> Ratebeer likes to split remote territories off as if they were separate countries, in order to have idiots chase stats.
[19:36:36] <Deucalion> I put Stella in the same bag as Kronenbourg1664 - nasty. I actually would rather drink Bud, even the not imported version. Bud is unoffensive but shit, imported Budvar is more palatable, Stella is just fucking awful in every way.
[19:36:37] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - U.S. Homeland Security Chief Mulls Broader Laptop Ban - http://sylnt.us - going-to-need-a-narrower-laptop
[19:36:43] <nick> how many countries do they actually list?
[19:37:05] <Deucalion> FatPhil, you should add Zubr to the list ;)
[19:37:17] <FatPhil> As a beer database it's easily the most accurate, but as a geographical resource, it's terrible!
[19:37:34] <nick> I had a bad can of K1664 once and now I just stay away from it... but bud is awful in general
[19:38:02] <FatPhil> Deucalion: had 4 Zubrs
[19:38:16] <nick> bud and carling are the only beers i will generally politely decline if offered
[19:38:33] * Deucalion images nick with a flat warm pint of locally brewed Witches Tit nestling on the pot belly whilst throwing darts
[19:38:53] <Deucalion> FatPhil, what did you make of Zubr?
[19:38:56] * nick checks his webcam is off
[19:39:07] <FatPhil> nick: over 217 : https://www.ratebeer.com
[19:39:13] <upstart> ^ 03Most Difficult Countries to Drink | Ratebeer
[19:40:35] <FatPhil> Deucalion: (out of 5.0) premium 1.3, gold 2.0, classic 2.5
[19:40:55] <nick> Oooo, they included Nagorno-Karabakh
[19:41:00] <nick> daring move right there
[19:41:24] <FatPhil> also has a "cudovar" brewed at the same plant (Holba and Litoval are teh same parent company, had someof those too)
[19:41:58] <FatPhil> nick: well spotted. That's under discussion right now, whether there's still actually a brewery in that territory.
[19:42:26] <nick> i try to keep an eye on the various
[19:42:30] <nick> partially recognised states
[19:44:31] <TheMightyBuzzard> blerg. my laptop hdd went out on me.
[19:45:18] <nick> now i'm curious as to what beers they have in Saudi Arabia
[19:45:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> i have two more handy but do not want to spend the time setting up a working system when alls i want it to do is act as a wireless card for my desktop
[19:45:59] <FatPhil> I think they're just malt drinks, 0% alcohol, and nobody apart from the people who have ticked them think they're valid
[19:46:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> so it's running off an usb key with Calculate linux install media on it and has NAT happening
[19:47:48] <nick> FatPhil, seems like you're right... also interesting how many people have tried North Korean beer
[19:50:01] <FatPhil> there was a beer festival that featured a bunch recently, I forget where.
[19:50:23] <FatPhil> I think someone may have got some bottles filled and carried them back for others to share.
[19:51:30] <nick> i do vaguely recall some years ago, not sure how many, there was a story about DPRK trying to make beer an export
[19:52:56] <nick> https://en.wikipedia.org
[19:52:56] <upstart> ^ 03Taedonggang - Wikipedia
[19:53:13] <nick> " Concerned it could be used for chemical weapons production, after assurances Peter Ward, of brewing company Thomas Hardy Brewing and Packaging bought the plant, and arranged for a team from North Korea to travel to Trowbridge to dismantle it."
[19:53:55] <nick> would have loved to seen the visa applications for north koreans travelling to the UK for business
[19:55:27] <FatPhil> now rating my 88th schwarzbier...
[19:56:15] <FatPhil> oh my, I've had 666 pale lagers
[19:56:39] <Deucalion> In one day? Good going sir, I commend your ability to still breath let alone type coherently.
[19:57:27] <FatPhil> that took just over 10 years
[19:57:47] <FatPhil> I don't hunt out pale lagers
[19:58:52] <Deucalion> What's wrong with you? That's less than one per day. You can;t take your liver with you, you know... may as well make full use of it :D
[20:00:17] * Deucalion sips on a cold Zubr and thinks the 6% abv option while editing conf files may not have been wise.
[20:02:26] <nick> Deucalion, an 8-9% would have been better
[20:05:50] <Deucalion> nick, nah - then I'd just break stuff. With 6% I get the chance to know when to stop. Any more and the bravado would kick in ahead of logic, I'd nuke everything from orbit then go to bed.
[20:42:57] <FatPhil> Deucalion: I typed in 2600+ beer ratings last year, so I don't think I'm slacking. I had a backlog of about 200 not typed in as well.
[20:43:47] <FatPhil> I'm on target for a similar number this year too. I am planning on cutting back though, it's getting silly.
[20:44:08] <FatPhil> which is why I'm trying to arrange for a package from a far-off continent... ;-)
[20:57:40] <chromas> Antarctic beer?
[21:02:52] <Deucalion> FatPhil, will become SlimPhil
